LAN file sharing

[geneous2@netmail.home.com]

I tried to share files between 2 RH 7.1 work stations.  My first try was by nfs.  The "from" w/s that has the 
file was configured as 1) /etc/hosts fils has the "to" w/s and the "to" w/s is in the /etc/exports (along with the 
"from" directory.  The book I'm using says to restart /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd & /rpc.mountd.  rpc.mountd continues 
to run, but rpc.nfsd doew not show on a "ps aux"  command as the book expects.  A rpm quiery shows that 
nfs-utils are there.  The attempt to mount the "from" directory onto an empty dir on the "to" w/s resulted in a 
msg saying unable to receive.

Second try was via ftp, however neither w/s was a server.  My search thru the HOWTO's didn't say much 
about  ftp servering.  rpmfind.net only showed clients.

Any help?  Appreciations,
Gene
